2x founder, operator, advisor, and just trying to be useful where I can!
The Short Version
I'm a 2x founder, AI builder, ex-KKR and former investment banker. Originally from the Bay Area, currently based in NYC.
The Longer Version
I started my career in finance, then left to start my first company when I was 26 years old. It was a DTC women's health platform. We ultimately didn't find product market fit, but we took the lessons and applied them to a second company, which is a vertical AI application layer for medical practices.
Both were crazy rides. I had a lot of fun, suffered even more, and learned a few things along the way.
Now I advise, angel invest, build things on the side, and try to be useful to early stage founders.
Some tech, some AI, some neither. All early stage.
